Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 582: An Inch of Gray in the Dream
Gu Xiaoxing opened his eyes in a hazy state, and everything he saw was also hazy and he couldn't see clearly.
Only a slightly vague sound came from my ears.
"The immortals are gone, on the top of the green mountain, no one has ever collected their bones since ancient times...!"
"The old ghosts are crying and the new ghosts are complaining. The ghosts are angry and want to speak to me...!"
Although the voice was a little vague, Gu Xiaoxing could still barely hear it clearly. It should be the voice of a young girl.
"The body is dead, but the spirit is God. God is always there, without any interruption."
"The immortal is gone, Qingshantou......!"
The sound continued, over and over again, as if chanting scriptures, or as if it was praying for the salvation of the souls of the dead.
Gu Xiaoxing was immersed in such sounds, slowly woke up, slowly opened his eyes, and saw a starry sky.
This starry sky seemed familiar to Gu Xiaoxing, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
He subconsciously wanted to look at himself under the starry sky, but found that he could not see himself.
He only saw a huge furnace.
There is also a huge green incense stick on the furnace.
This green incense did not burn, but just stood quietly in the furnace.
Gu Xiaoxing also saw a huge stone statue holding the tripod high.
And under the stone statue was an altar where a little girl was kneeling.
"The immortal is gone..."
She lowered her head and recited over and over again, her voice full of piety, as if she had been here for a very long time.
I don’t know if it was because the girl’s sincerity moved the heavens, but the green incense in the cauldron on the stone statue’s head was suddenly lit, and thick green smoke rose up from the burning incense, going straight up to the sky.
Then, the green smoke began to condense and formed a green smoke ball, which became thicker and thicker.
Finally, a very handsome young man walked out from the thick smoke.
The little girl below seemed to sense something, and finally stopped talking and slowly looked up.
In an instant, Gu Xiaoxing's soul was shaken and his mind was buzzing. He recognized the little girl.
She is... Fang Qingqing!
The stone statue is the corpse of the Imperial Spirit.
The furnace is the imperial furnace.
Incense is burning Taoist incense!
And the young man who walked out from the billowing smoke condensed from the burning Taoist incense is... the True God of Yu Dao!
Gu Xiaoxing had played him in Fang Qingqing’s dream of the dead before, but the young man at this moment is no longer played by Gu Xiaoxing, this is the real God of Yu Dao!
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing is like a third-party perspective, able to watch everything here.
The moment he saw Fang Qingqing's face, he finally remembered everything.
However, at this moment, the sky and the earth collapsed, the space shattered, and the sound of "cracking" spread everywhere.
Gu Xiaoxing was suddenly awakened.
Dream?
But when Gu Xiaoxing woke up, what he saw was still the familiar starry sky.
But it seems that many stars that were originally very bright are now dim.
Gu Xiaoxing's perspective is still that of a third party. He has no body and cannot move, but he can see everything around him.
However, this time, Gu Xiaoxing's viewing angle had changed, and it was no longer from the Imperial Furnace.
But, it was under the corpse of Yu Dao Zhen Ling!
In front of them, the body of the Yudao True Spirit was still there, and the Yudao furnace was also there, but the burning incense inside was gone.
He turned around and looked, only to find that the burning Taoist incense was right in front of him, held in a pair of small hands.
This immediately made Gu Xiaoxing feel like he was being controlled by someone.
The green smoke from the burning Taoist incense was no longer as thick as what had been seen before, nor as huge as in the Imperial Taoist furnace.
Gu Xiaoxing has realized that this is still a dream. He is afraid that the dream will be shattered again, so he begins to slowly shift his gaze.
What he saw was still a young face, very similar to Fang Qingqing, but also obviously different!
She is... Fang Qingyun!
The moment he saw her, Gu Xiaoxing thought of a lot of things in an instant, and his mind was uncontrollably shaken again.
The world began to shake as well, and the "cracking" sound was heard again.
Gu Xiaoxing knew that his dream was about to be shattered again!
He was no longer cautious and suddenly looked at everything around him.
In addition to the corpse of the Imperial Dao Spirit, the Imperial Dao Furnace, Fang Qingyun and the burning incense, he also saw a black coffin full of cracks behind Fang Qingyun!
And in the further distance, there is an endless starry sky that is shattering and destroying. This is truly the destruction of the world and it is extremely terrifying.
The next moment, the space was completely shattered again.
Gu Xiaoxing, open your eyes again!
This time, what he saw was finally not the familiar starry sky, but it made Gu Xiaoxing's mind even more shocked.
Because this time, the person he saw was the old village chief!
But this time, the world was very stable. Even if Gu Xiaoxing's mind was greatly fluctuating, the world did not shake, and there was no sign of breaking.
Gu Xiaoxing still had no body, could not move or speak, and could only look at the old village chief quietly.
The old village chief was standing right opposite him, burning incense in his hand, the complexity of his expression clearly visible.
After a long time, the old village chief suddenly sighed and muttered to himself.
"What is the past life, what is the afterlife, it's nothing but a group of lonely ghosts struggling in pain."
"There is no past life, there is no after life...!"
"In our previous lives, we have already become a pile of dry bones...!"
"All future lives are false!"
"Since you are still unwilling, then I will give you a... fake life!"
The old village chief muttered to himself here, and suddenly looked deeply at the burning incense, and spoke again.
"In this life, your name is...Gu Xiaoxing!"
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxing's whole body roared violently. He even had a feeling that the old village chief was staring at him and talking.
The three words "Gu Xiaoxing" seemed to possess tremendous magical power, causing the entire space to shake again.
In Gu Xiaoxing's sight, the old village chief suddenly pointed his finger at the burning incense.
It was also as if... it touched Gu Xiaoxing's brow!
The world was shaking even more violently, but it had not yet completely shattered. A giant skeletal hand had already torn through space and was coming from afar.
At the same time, in the broken space, the burning incense began to burn rapidly under the finger of the old village chief.
The three feet and seven inches of the burning incense soon turned into three feet and six inches, and an inch of incense ash slowly fell on the head of the burning incense.
As the old village chief waved his hand, the inch of incense ash dissipated and then condensed again.
In the end, it turned into a...baby!
At this time, the huge skeleton hand in the distance was approaching, covering the sky and the sun, and it was bigger than anything Gu Xiaoxing had ever seen!
The old village chief walked forward and slowly picked up the baby.
Suddenly, there were more houses, more vegetable fields and poultry around the old village chief, and more villagers that Gu Xiaoxing was familiar with.
This is Fulai Village!
"I can't help you much, but using the Yu Dao True Spirit and becoming a part of his Burning Dao Rebirth is your only life."
"Whether you can find the truth or not depends on whether you can control this... fake life...!"
The old village chief's vicissitudes of life voice spread throughout the world.
The next moment, a huge skeleton hand suddenly appeared, and as if it didn't want Gu Xiaoxing to know more, it squeezed it fiercely.
boom……!
The sky collapsed and the earth broke apart, and the space shattered again.
Gu Xiaoxing...suddenly opened his eyes!
What I saw was Dongfang Yu’s face right in front of me.
Finally... awake from the dream !
This is a dream, and an extremely bizarre series of dreams!
But even though he had woken up from the dream, Gu Xiaoxing was still lost in thought for a long time as he looked at Dongfang Yu.
Dongfang Yu's face was very gloomy at the moment, especially when she saw Gu Xiaoxing waking up, her expression became particularly unfriendly.
But the next moment, she was hugged by Gu Xiaoxing.
This made Dongfang Yu stunned. With her mind connected, she immediately realized that something was wrong with Gu Xiaoxing at the moment, as if his whole body was shaking.
She didn't care about anything else and hugged Gu Xiaoxing without saying anything or asking any questions.
But Gu Xiaoxing murmured in her ear: "I don't seem to be... a human!"
Dongfang Yu: “???”
Then, Gu Xiaoxing recounted his series of dreams in general.
Dongfang Yu was also stunned after listening to Gu Xiaoxing's narration.
Especially when she heard that in her dream, the lonely little star was formed by the ashes of burning Taoist incense, she found it absurd and bizarre.
So Dongfang Yu pinched Gu Xiaoxing left and right, and even bit him, causing Gu Xiaoxing to scream in pain.
"Look, I didn't bite the dust. It was just a dream. Why are you taking it so seriously?"
Gu Xiaoxing touched the deep teeth marks on his neck, and the fear in his heart was completely wiped out by the bite.
He said a little aggrievedly: "Then don't bite so hard!"
Dongfang Yu didn't care, and continued: "Besides, there are tens of thousands of creatures in the world, why must it be humans?"
"Just like my father, Dongfang Yexuan, he is not a human either...!"
At this point, Dongfang Yu seemed to realize that he seemed to be scolding his father, and quickly changed his words: "Isn't my father also a fox demon?"
"I'm a half-demon too!"
As she spoke, a pair of fangs grew out of her mouth, and a large furry white tail grew out of her back.
Although Dongfang Yu has half the blood of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox flowing in his body, he is only half-demon after all. Even after becoming a demon, he only has one tail at most. This has nothing to do with his talent.
Gu Xiaoxing stared at Dongfang Yu in a daze. His originally depressed and even sad mood suddenly disappeared.
Although Gu Xiaoxing knew that the dream might not just be a dream, it was most likely the truth!
People have been interpreting dreams since ancient times, but there has never been a clear definition.
Even Gu Xiaoxing, whose cultivation has now reached the level of spiritual transformation, still does not understand dreams.
But one thing he was sure of was that at his level, he would never dream for no reason.
What's more, with just a little thought, everything in the dream seems to be connected.
So, this is by no means a simple dream.
In other words, Gu Xiaoxing...may really be transformed from an inch of ash from burning Taoist incense!
If this dream is true, then Gu Xiaoxing would rather conclude that this dream is... the memory of burning Taoist incense!
Because no matter what angle he viewed in his dream, it all started with the burning of Taoist incense!
It is precisely because Gu Xiaoxing is an inch of incense ash of Ran Daoxiang that Ran Daoxiang can resonate with Gu Xiaoxing when he is sleeping and pass on this long-lost memory to him!
And all of this is what Gu Xiaoxing subconsciously wants to know... the truth!
